Pain Banishment Not Pain Management book
 

How many of you have read this book and what did you think of the info in the book? I found it very intersesting and a lot of info in this book explains stuff that most other crps/rsd books do not.

Have any of you used this STS machine made by Dynatronic?

Mike, I have two friends from another board use the STS machine. Neither of them have had lasting results unfortunately. I guess others have had great results from it from what I have been told. But I have never seen it.
Hugs, Denny

whatother board are you refering to? i would like to read their posts and learn more.

thanks

Dr Rhodes called me back today. We talked about 15-20minutes. The Sts machine is a little spendy but if it works it will be worth it. he mentioned that they have a new machine that can take pictures of your body parts to tell him exactly where to put the leads and what frequency.

he also mentioned sugar diabetes people is what he is working on now and in a few months they will have a 300 person fda trial on reversing(curing) diabetes.

I told him that I was going in for hbot treatments and he said that it would not work. i am confused now as the hbot and the sts machine were both looking promising and i dont know which one to try first.

Mike, I dont think we are allowed to mention other boards here. And I really dont want to post the link to our board here. Its a quiet & small board. And we kind of like it that way. If I post it here it wont stay that way. I dont know anoither way to get you the information. Can you think of a way? I think you need this information very badly because one kept a journal.
Good luck.
Denny

Mike,
I've been a member of this board for a while and read it periodically, but haven't posted in years. However, I just so happened to be reading the board tonight and felt that I should respond to your question. I have used the Dynatron STS for 5 years and am doing excellent. It has been a hard journey for me, but now I am happy to report that I've only had one flare up this year and it lasted about a week. I can definitely tell a difference when I'm using the machine versus when I miss a day so I know it must have some physiological effects. I cannot really even attempt to explain how the machine works, but all I know is that it has changed my life. When I originally saw Dr. Rhodes, I was unable to attend school because of my RSD and now I am in college over 2000 miles away from home.

Like any other treatment for RSD, each person is different so it's hard to know what treatments will work for which person. I definitely think it's well worth the money and the attempt especially if you believe it will work and are willing to stick with the treatment. The machine costs less than the combination of procedures I had before seeing Dr. Rhodes. I also know that he's made great improvements in his technology and treatment strategies since I first started and is very good at customizing the treatment for your symptoms. I think that's one of the things I really like about the Dynatron is that it has many different protocols that can be used for a variety of conditions and settings that can be customized to work best for your body. Dr. Rhodes has had success in treating many different conditions from Parkinson's to MS to diabetes. I would suggest watching the youtube videos he has on his website. Feel free to private message me or post if you have any more specific questions.

Thanks Denny,

I totally understand what you are saying;)

Mike

Zebra,

thanks for taking the time to post here. right now my head is real foggy so i dont have any questions but when fogginess goes away i will either post or pm you.

thanks again

Mike

I've talked to a Dr. Rhodes on behalf of my wife. Is he the same doctor from Texas who is developing a machine that sends small electrical pulses through the body? If he is the same doctor and without bringing it up to him when I talked to him, and some issues not clear in my mind, is that I've read that he claims to have had RSD but no longer. Also a red flag goes up with me with him is he seems to be tackling several diseases at once with this machine. He also made the claim to me his machine will be released world wide in the next couple of years because of its success. I hope its true and keeping an opened mind, and have been keeping my eyes opened to new info about him. I've scoured his website but have a gut feeling he's not all that he claims. If anyone has anymore to add on Dr. Rhodes I'd appreciate it.

Denny, I'm doing some research on different treatments for RSD and i'm interested to learn more about the experience of your friends. is there any way?
Thanks!
